Today...i was able to spend some time in the word and was drawn to Psalms. It hit me real good. I felt the word and it spoke to me. I need to stay focused on Him and through everything I need to make sure I am Praising Him. From the heart. I may to feel like it all the time but I need to Praise Him. If I can do this I think I will feel so much closer to Him and more at peace. I need that peace so much right now. I need to feel like everything is going to be ok...that everything is going to work out. I need that. I need to feel Him close to me. I KNOW He is there but in so many ways I am the one who stops. I stop believing. I stop hoping. I stop having faith. I STOP. I need to stop doing that (teehehehe...stop stopping!!). Today i did and tomorrow...well it is not here so I need not concern myself with it...right? HA!! that is another story. So for now...I praise Him for loving me and mine and for looking down and watching over us. He told me a few months ago..."my ways are not your ways..." Help me to remember that everyday....

wow!! it has been forever...so much going on...so much that my mind is overwhelmed at least 18 hours of the day....so much!!! i rarely stop and smell the roses let alone get on the Internet, and blog...PLEASE!!! when do i have time...*sigh* well...i am here right now and i have this site i follow on my facebook and i just started following on my blog...it focuses on you and that is a good thing right? hmmmmmmmmmmm...anyway...it says we should list 10 blessings so i am going to list them (it has you do this every Sunday, and there should be no repeats). *sigh* let's see if i can find 10 blessings today...

1/ Genesis...here at home with us
2/ Bridgette...she has been a rock during this time
3/ Hunny Bunny...he has been my island...my core
4/ God...even though I don't speak to him everyday just knowing He is there is a blessing to me...
5/ My church family...i have not been able to see them b/c of work but knowing they are praying for us is a blessing.
6/ My job...with everything the way it is I know I am blessed to have one right now
7/ My sanity...as weird as that sounds, it is a blessing...

"Leaving On A Jet Plane" Ringtones to Cell

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Guitar Solo

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

I was in Yahoo and came across this article. I tend to me the french nail girl, how about you?

Work Like Your Nail Color, Even if It's Nude

Posted Feb 22nd 2010 4:46PM

By Lisa Johnson Mandell

With all the negativity and depression clouding the working world these days, author/radio host Mary Foley thinks it's time to lighten up a little -- or at least to add a little color. She's been through all the ups and downs the economy has had to offer, and she chooses to look on the bright side, which is an inspiration to us all.

Freshly graduated from Virginia with a degree in engineering, Foley took an $8 an hour customer service rep job, "just to pay the bills." That was with the then-unknown AOL, and she moved up, up, up with the company, eventually heading up corporate training, then getting out of the company back when the getting was good.

Since then she's earned a master's degree in organization development from Pepperdine University and authored two books, including Bodacious! Woman: Outrageously in Charge of Your Life and Lovin' It, and Live Like Your Nail Color. She currently is the co-host of the fabulously friendly "Girlfriend We Gotta Talk" radio show, which is broadcast live in Richmond, VA, and can be found online at GirlfriendWeGottaTalk.com

For AOL DimeCrunch, Mary applied her colorful concepts to the working world:

What does your favorite nail color – or naked nails – reveal about you?

Your fingers (or toes) are really mini-indicators into your personality!

• If you usually have a French manicure, you are one classy, sophisticated and incredibly practical gal. Your nails are neatly manicured, without going to extremes, and the look goes with every outfit.
• Are you wearing mocha or a shade of brown? These earth tones mean you're a woman who is grounded, approachable and someone we can share our deepest thoughts with.
• How about pink? Pink is the quintessential girlie color, and one of the most popular colors for nails. If you choose a light to medium pink, you are friendly, happy and lighthearted. For those who prefer the wilder side of pink – aka, the hot pink and fuchsia tones – then you are known to be on the talkative, fun, and exciting side.
• Wild about red? Considered to be the wildest nail color of all, women who love red nails are usually leading the "Passionate About Life Parade" with their energy, enthusiasm, and confidence.
• And if your nails are naked? According to a recent survey, only about 35 percent of women paint both their fingers and toes, which means most women paint only one or the other, the most popular being their toes. There are a lot of reasons why women don't paint their nails; but one thing is true: having naked nails means you're willing to be your true, authentic self and show it to the world.

What does your nail color say about your career?

Because fingernails are always visible, they communicate more about your career than do toenails. Sixty-one percent of women surveyed have naked fingernails. It's considered by many that well-manicured naked nails are the mark of a confident, modern woman. However, naked does not mean neglected! Far too many women in business have ragged, bitten, unkempt nails that can communicate to co-workers or a potential employer nervousness, incompetence, and lack of confidence.

Then there are the gals who take the time to color their fingernails. Gals who wear a French manicure or mild nail color usually like their career and feel comfortable with how it's going. They literally look and feel polished! Gals who sport a brighter nail color are usually excited about their career and have found a personal sweet spot of success. Their confidence is high and they are willing to take more career risks because of it!

Today is the third day of 2010!! wow!!! I am thinking 2010 is going to go as fast as 2009!! Maybe even faster... I have been thinking about the new year and the things I want to accomplish this year. I have a few "words/theme" but I am not sure which one will be my 2010 word. I know last year was suppose to be a continuation of the year before but that changed in June. I believe I was just existing after Mom passed away. I sure do miss her. Well, one thing I want to do is be more grateful so I am wanting to have 5 things I am grateful for every week. I am not sure how it will go but I have to start to find out, right? *grin*

5 things I am grateful for...

* My family...they complete me.

* The support I am getting on my new resolution (my family ROCKS!!)

* Having both girls with us (it will not last forever!!)

* My job (especially at this time in America)

* My home
